Dickerson gets start in CF versus Pirates

As the Brewers open a three-game set against the Pirates on Friday, there’s little of note in the lineup.

The only real question when manager Ken Macha fills out his lineup card these days is who is going to play center field. For the series opener, the answer to that question was left-handed hitting outfielder Chris Dickerson.

With Dickerson starting, it leaves a pair of right-handed hitting outfielders on the bench in Carlos Gomez and Lorenzo Cain. For Dickerson, the start is his third of the homestand and first in center field since August 15 against the Rockies at Coors Field.
